Exactly one month ago, Atletico Madrid was in the running for all three major trophies, and there was a fair chance they’d end the season with at least one in hand. Then came a disastrous March—six matches across all competitions that shattered the Colchoneros’ entire campaign.They won just one of those six games, and even that win felt like a loss, as they were ultimately eliminated by Real Madrid in a penalty shootout. Barcelona knocked them out of the Copa del Rey, and with some help from Getafe and Espanyol, they were also pushed out of the title race.While it’s now clear to everyone that the season is lost, Cholo Simeone celebrated today’s 93rd-minute winning goal against Sevilla (2–1) like it was for a trophy. He still believes. And he won’t back down until he achieves something big. He’s already flexing muscles for next season.Atleti. ❤️🤍 pic.twitter.com/gouBiUkj0L— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) April 6, 2025 As for Sevilla, their season had collapsed long ago, and this third consecutive defeat officially knocked them out of the race for European spots. Simeone fielded the strongest lineup he had at the Sanchez Pizjuan, clearly signaling he was going for the win—one he waited for until the dying moments of the match. He knew his team needed something to lift their spirits for what’s left of the season.Even though Sevilla opened the match after just eight minutes with a stunner from Lucien Agoume and seemed to be sensing victory, they ended the game once again with a dumbfounded look on their faces. The French midfielder’s rocket from 20 meters was the highlight of the day, but the sweet feeling only lasted 15 minutes—Bade fouled Gallagher and conceded a penalty. This time, Julian Alvarez made sure of his shot and equalized.🚨🇪🇸 GOAL | Sevilla 1-0 Atlético Madrid | Lucien AgoumeLUCIEN AGOUME OPENS THE SCORING FOR SEVILLA !!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/5uhhjUEUIv— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) April 6, 2025 🚨🇪🇸 GOAL | Sevilla 1-1 Atlético Madrid | Julian AlvarezJULIAN ALVAREZ HAS EQUALIZED FROM THE SPOT!pic.twitter.com/mT3S8mHnOn— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) April 6, 2025 Agoume could have added an assist to his name around the 30-minute mark after a brilliant through ball sent Akor through on goal, but Oblak and Le Normand managed to neutralize the danger together.Simeone’s substitutions in the second half energized the team, and we saw a much better Atletico. Giuliano, Riquelme, Alvarez, Gallagher all threatened, and just when it seemed Atletico had run out of firepower, Pablo Barrios stepped up. The versatile Atleti man went on a solo run from midfield and sealed the win with an elegant strike from distance—a goal his manager celebrated with fiery passion.🚨🇪🇸 GOAL | Sevilla 1-2 Atlético Madrid | BarriosBARRIOS WINS IT FOR ATLETICO MADRID IN THE 93RD MINUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/AI1jeiGhBi— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) April 6, 2025 Theoretically, they’re still alive, but in essence, Atletico’s season is over…LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 30FridayRayo Vallecano – Espanyol 0-4 (0-2)/Cabrera 12, Fernandes 16, Puado 72 (p), Milla 90/SaturdayGirona – Alaves 0-1 (0-0)/Vicente 61/Real Madrid – Valencia 1-2 (0-1)/Vinicius Jr 50 – Diakhaby 15, Duro 90+5/Mallorca – Celta 1-2 (1-0)/Valjent 17 – Gonzalez 53, Lopez F. 72/Barcelona – Betis 1-1 (1-1)/Gavi 7 – Natan 17/SundayLas Palmas – Sociedad 1-3 (0-1)/McBurnie 60 – Oyarzabal 5, Gomez 56, Aramburu 68/Sevilla – Atl.
